Already, most of the AI on your phone wouldn't work without internet. You can't transmit electricity efficiently without wires. Tesla thought he could do this because he rejected the inverse square law. But batteries are getting better. The reason fat and fuel have higher energy densities is you don't have to include the mass of the oxygen in the air. The reaction 2 (CH2)x + 3 O2 -> 2 CO2 + 2 H2O is 77.5% oxygen. Hydrogen fuel cells at 33,000 Whr/kg (110x lithium batteries) would be ideal if there was a good way to store it. ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/T772759d8ceb4b92c-M60cc571bcaa9a43b08899b9e Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
